One of France's most popular ski resorts has launched a campaign
against cigarette butts, saying the hundreds of thousands of unsightly
stubs thrown each year in the snow pose a serious environmental
hazard.

Val Thorens - a popular destination in the Alps for British and Dutch
tourists in particular - said the campaign, started Sunday, was not an
anti-smoking initiative but rather an effort to reduce the number of
cigarette butts that blight the pristine mountainside.

Good idea to stop the littering.... but how they can say ' pristine =
mountainside' when there is a bloody great lift above it is beyond me!!
